MOTHERS COOKING.

For all their skill and knowledge, backed by

Can not produce such cooking as my mother

Her pumpkins, mince and apple pies, two inches
thick at least,
Are still to me in memory a sweet perpetual
feast
Her puddngs. bread and biscuit, pure and
lighter than the snow.
I dream about, but never eat, no matter where
Igo.
Dut of the many dainties that my mother used
to make,
L think her homemade crullers nearly always
took the cake.
i yet can see her making them, her hands with
-four white
While round her stood Us children small,
a-watchng with delight
Beside the stove an earthen pot stood ready to
be crowned
With crullers in fantastic shapes and beauti-
fully Drowned;
-Dut TIL four naughty boys were filled, who

Dear, patient mother toiled in vain to fill the
cruller pot.
q: She make US each cruller man, with legs
and arms and head.
Which we, like little cannibals, devoured up n
bed:
And in the mornings early, while the rest were
fast asleep,
-Four little ghosts in night-go gowns to the cruller
pot would --eep.
Don't talk to me OF cooking. There is none in
all the earth
That can compare with mothers. Now reaiizC
its worth
And quite often in my reveries her crullers
taste again.
And scramble with my brothers for those funny
cruller men.

For distemper in horses an expe-
rienced horseman has found treat
ment of quinine most eficacious. For
light attack he gives about fifteen or
twenty grains daily; where there is
much fever he gives the dose twice a
day. Get the quinine from reliable
druggist who will sell only the best.
Soft Candy - One pound good
brown sugar. three tablespoonfuls of
water; while boiling. add quarter of a
pound of butter. Boil until thick and
ropy. then take it from the fire and
stir until it grains. Pour on buttered
plates and let it cool. Nuts put in

Exchange.
In reply to an inquiry of Orchard
and Garden with regard to the best
time to prune grape-vines, three prac-
teal vineyardists say that they see no
difference between fall. winter and
spring pruning. They all agree that
it does not injure the vine to prune
when the wood is frozen. if care is
taken not to break the wood that is
left by bending the canes.
Butter needs only all the strong
brine it will absorb while in the granu-
lar stage to give it keeping properties.
When free of buttermilk-as it NAV be
if it is washed out-a coating of liquid
salt about each little globule is all that
that can ever be done in the way of
salt adding to the keeping of butter
Then this brine will also fill al the
minute spaces between the globules
and keep out the air.-Prairie Farmer.
